Hmm before google there used to be sites that did this a lot
These days it is more TOP 10 lists for must read bizadvice etc
I usually search for top 100 lists etc to find things I'm unfamiliar with, then once having gotten my toes wet I find my way around from there
What I've found is that usually all books on a topic are emulating ONE key book that started the trend, so I tend to try to find the classics that started the trends
Like in movies, certain tropes are coined by certain movies, then other movies reincorporate it
You might be creating a need where it doesn't exist or be dreaming but it depends on execution
And how are people going to find you, to then find your curation of goodies?
Maybe do something like lootcrate?
Where you buy a bunch of books for your subscribers and send it to them every so often, and that helps them gear up for improveement
Sell it like "you could go out and find it on your own but you would wade through a lot of trash to find the gems, here start with some gems and expand faster"
That conceivably could be a fastlane vehicle if done right.
But the difference between dreaming and fastlane there is marketting (so people find you easily) and having an actually legit and well recommended crate service with tons of subscribers
To lower overhead you could start as a digital lootcrate, where you send ebooks in a package to their email along with any links to read and short summaries on what to expect going in. Leading them through how to digest the info in the best way.
That wouldn't be too terrible
But your execution has to be top notch
If you are lazy at all no ones gonna trust you
You gotta sell PRO on every level, help them emulate how pro you are by buying in
Another way might be a recommendation service and you monetise by advertising some unknowns along with the classics
